Cadbury's Rosies and HDM shocker

Postby Townie » Sun Nov 14, 2004 7:21 pm

Has anyone else seen the new advert for Cadbury's Rosies?! It's got two women in it both of whom have what appear to be daemons! HDM inspired?

Hmm - daemons who encourage gluttony. I've never seen so many people eating Rosies.
When in doubt, castle.

Brit, my boy, Brit!

They wouldn't have Rosie's over there would they?! I thought waffles and maple syrup was more their thing :wink:

Besides if i was a yank I'd have said 'commercial'

Those adverts are annoying!

Those adverts frankly frighten me. Shame on you for associating them with HDM. *hides from scary talky leopard*

It's like they're trying to be both funny and poignant at the same time, and achieving neither...

anyways, pullman didn't invent daemons... so it's not necessarily an hdm-connection so much as a connection any belief/myth of such familiars.

Hmm, I thnk in this instance it was just a fairly ~*pineapples*~ idea that a team of marketing execs came up with in a 'brainstorming session' or whatever they call wanton idiocy these days.

Yeah, I think the whole concept of the advert is a bit silly really, it comes across as really awkward as well I think.
